Mixed

-

I think this is a good time to talk about being racially/ethnically mixed. As someone who is "mixed", let me remind you all that our identities are our own, you all do not decide what boxes we check. Most of us are proud of who we are...every drop of blood. This goes for "conservatives'' and "liberals", who tell me that I "don't look it." Fuck you. (Note: Though most Latins are mixed, as Latin America suffered through European settlements, Africans enslaved, etc. We all don't look alike, trust me.) 


Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah! Fuck you all, who tell us who and what we are in this world. I know who I am, and so does Kamala and so did Barack. So do my siblings, my sons, my nieces and nephews, and the great nieces and nephews will too. No human being can fit into a box nice and neat, no matter how you all feel about it. Fuck these labels. And don't be jealous of our mixed pride. 


So, please stop telling us how we should define ourselves. And I hope Kamala ignores the attempted birther bullshit. She is as American as Ted, Nikki, and Barack, as me! Surprise! Not all Americans are rich white men! The bastards want us to think we all are…don't fall for it.



She has never denied her heritage, just like I never have denied mine, unlike "Ted" and "Nikki".

Though "passing" was tempting when I was younger, my radical ANTIFA side wouldn't let me nor would my working-class white redneck father. My blued-eyed, melanin-deficient, sunblock wearing self, (a subject that my siblings, who inherited some of my mother's easily-tanned genes made fun of, as good siblings do.) is proud of my Panamanian roots, especially the plantain and rice eating part.


So fuck the classist, racist, sexist, phobic, wealthy fascists who dupe us and divide us. And don't try to divide me and other “mixed” people. We know who we are! 


What are you going to do, cut us into pieces?  Yeah, bring it, bitches.

The Trumper Troll Neighbor and Election Integrity

-

As the election draws closer, my nerves are in knots. Will the American voting public choose common sense and democracy, or will they choose a shit-show version of fascism that comes in orange and wears a red tie?  I have no faith in the American voting public at all, not since 2016. Actually, I am convinced that my fellow Americans are masochists and not the fun kind.   But before I get into my main topic, I have an interesting social media story to tell you all. (See my 10/14/24 post, "Troll or Not?" for background.) I just recently experienced someone who is in the Orange cult, in real life, it was my neighbor. She has been a “friend” on FB for a year, and I knew her political views, but I paid no attention to her except when she would post happy family pictures, because, regardless of someone’s political leanings, I always wish them love and it’s nice to see it.  So when she commented last week on my post about my inquiry about JD Vance’s name changes (there are three...

A Letter to the Voters of the Orange Motherf*cker: Peaceful Transfer of Power

Dear Asshole Americans who voted for the Orange Motherf*cker (especially family members), A few days ago was January 6, 2025, for those keeping track, it was a day in which Congress routinely certifies the Presidential Election. It felt normal, unlike the last Presidential election certification.  On January 6, 2021, our years of tradition and the core of our democracy was challenged for the first time when there was no peaceful transfer of power.  Instead we watched as "Americans" stormed the Capitol all in the name of saving their Orange Bastard messiah from being "cheated out of an election."  We all know, including you all, that it was a fucking lie from, to use Jon Stewart's words, a "whiny bitch".  The current election certification was completed without the horror that we witnessed four years ago. Your willful ignorance and its (Orange MFer from this point forward or "IT" as its pronoun) ego destroyed the revolutionary idea of a peacef...

No One Elected Elon Musk (Or Any Billionaire Overlord)

  It's all over the news and the observations about the power structure that now exists in the White House has been made perfectly clear.  The press conference in the Oval Office with Donald Trump at the desk, silent and only speaking when it seemed when he had permission, while Elon Musk, with his small son picking his nose, did all the talking. It's really a depressing scene as one of the tech oligarchs actually thinks that HE won the election, as the shadow of a man, Trump, who was elected sits there confused. (Maybe Musk did win, as it seems that he bought it.) The scene can be described as one writer on Substack, Nadine Smith, stated it was reminiscent of a scene from  Lord of The Rings: Two Towers,  where the villain was speaking for the cursed King who was bewitched by the Wizard Saruman. (You can go to Nadine Smith's Substack to read more: https://1nadinesmith.substack.com/p/musks-oval-office-power-play) Nadine Smith describes both the fictional and...
